Protective air cushion gloves

Abstract

Protective air cushion gloves include hollow 3D straight air cushions for finger backs and a hand back disposed in regular rows inside the glove. Each straight air cushion has sections connected with extensible tubes and inflated with inner pressure to permit the glove to have good flexibility and an air buffer function for protecting every part of a hand, including the joints.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A protective air cushion for gloves comprising a plurality of first preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for finger backs, and a plurality of second preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for a hand back, and having at least one recessed hole in a surface, said recessed hole being formed at least half-through said straight air cushion, the recessed hole being defined by a shape-memorable wall structure for permitting the cushion to be inflated to a high inner pressure and without being disfigured. 
     
     
       2. The protective air cushion for gloves as claimed in  claim 1 , further including a plurality of recessed holes, and at least one of said recessed holes is in an upper surface and a lower surface to respectively face each other. 
     
     
       3. The protective air cushion for gloves as claimed in  claim 1  wherein at least one of said first and second air cushions is filled with a fluid. 
     
     
       4. The protective air cushion for gloves as claimed in  claim 3  wherein said fluid is a gas. 
     
     
       5. The protective air cushion for gloves as claimed in  claim 1  wherein at least one of said hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions includes at least one elongate groove in an upper surface to provide the at least one hollow three-dimensional straight air cushion with flexibility. 
     
     
       6. The protective air cushion for gloves as claimed in  claim 5  wherein said at least one groove extends from said upper surface along at least a one side surface. 
     
     
       7. A protective air cushion for gloves comprising a plurality of first preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for a first portion of a glove, and a plurality of second preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for a second portion of a glove, having at least one recessed hole in a surface of one straight air cushion, said recessed hole being formed at least half-through said one straight air cushion, the recessed hole being defined by a shape-memorable wall structure for permitting the cushion to be inflated to a high inner pressure and without being disfigured. 
     
     
       8. A protective air cushion for gloves comprising a plurality of first preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for finger backs, and a plurality of second preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for a hand back, at least one recessed hole in a surface of one straight air cushion, said one recessed hole being formed at least half-through said straight air cushion, the recessed hole being defined by a shape-memorable wall structure for permitting the cushion to be inflated to a high inner pressure and without being disfigured, and wherein said first and second straight cushions are connected by a plurality of sections having a plurality of elongate grooves in an upper surface thereof so as to form a single integral air cushion. 
     
     
       9. A protective cushion for gloves comprising a plurality of first preformed hollow three-dimensional straight cushions for finger backs, and a plurality of second preformed hollow three-dimensional straight cushions for a hand back, at least one recessed hole in a surface of one straight cushion, said one recessed hole being formed at least half-through said straight cushion, the recessed hole being defined by a shape-memorable wall structure for permitting the cushion to be inflated to a high inner pressure and without being disfigured, and wherein at least one of said first and second cushions is filled with a liquid. 
     
     
       10. A protective air cushion for gloves comprising a plurality of first preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for a first portion of a glove, and a plurality of second preformed hollow three-dimensional straight air cushions for a second portion of the glove, at least one recessed hole in a surface of one straight cushion, said recessed hole being formed at least half-through said one straight cushion, the recessed hole being defined by a shape-memorable wall structure for permitting the cushion to be inflated to a high inner pressure and without being disfigured, and wherein said first and second straight air cushions are connected by a plurality of sections having a plurality of elongate grooves in an upper surface thereof so as to form a single integral air cushion.
